Hi all!

I am trying to set CHL2MP_Player.baseclass.baseclass.localdata.m _iAmmo.004
(HL2MP game and the ammo slot is for SMG weapon) to a certain value on player respawn.

However the following code:

new ammooffset = FindSendPropOffs("CHL2MP_Player", "m_iAmmo");
SetEntData(client, ammooffset+16, 20, 4, true);

does not result in setting the ammo to 20, but in adding 20 to the ammo.

How can I set the ammo to a value? Negative values do not work (results in high positive values).

Could anyone give me a hint?
Thanks.

im not sure about this but isn't a player classname is any hl2 mod is CBasePlayer ?

I've tried both CHL2MP_Player and CBasePlayer.
It works the same way.

This page:
http://plugins.mfzb.de/offsets/DBSOURCE_Props.txt
Tells me that:
CBasePlayer, CDBS_Player and CHL2_Player has m_iAmmo values

Nican that offset page is for dragonball source. He's running hl2mp.

steambob try doing the same thing using the datamap type instead of send.

I can't remember the exact code but you do need to find the offset for every player not the classname.

If that doesn't work you could try sending a large negative number of ammo and see if that zero's it. Depends if the game allows negative ammo or not. If that works then you can send the exact number you want straight after

Thanks for the feedback!

This works the same way - adds 20 to the ammo

I will experiment with more negative values, but I guess the data might be treated as unsigned.

Couple of things. Why the +16?

and are you sure its a 4 bit? My guess would be 1...

1= byte, 2= short and i don't know the rest lol.

The dump produced by this plugin, says:

          
         m_iAmmo (1596)
         000 (0)
         001 (4)
         002 (8)
         003 (12)
         004 (16)
         005 (20)

and I need ...iAmmo.004
It also seems to be of size 4. BTW, this seems to be so for any game mod.
I do not really know if one can make it better (I mean not using +16).

It did work finally with negative values.

new iAmmo = -45;
SetEntData(client, ammooffset+16, iAmmo, 4, true);

(default ammo is 45)
resulted in having no ammo - thats what I wanted
